Nuclear Medicine

Nuclear medicine uses radiation similar to what comes from standard x-rays
to give your doctor information about body parts’ structure and
function. Before your exam, you will swallow, inhale or have a small dose
of radioactive substance injected, which allows your radiologist to take
images of the area that needs to be treated.

Common Uses of Nuclear Medicine

Images from nuclear medicine studies help your doctor diagnose tumors,
infection, and other disorders with detailed pictures of certain organs
and their functions.
